About stores
A store is an object with a save and load method to handle user data like portal layout, instanciated widgets, etc ...
By default portal.js provide a REST store and a localStorage store, but you can provide your own widget store by overriding the store options of your portal instance.
A store is composed of a load and save function returning promises of array of tabs.
Store contract is the following :
{
save: (userId: String, tabs: Array[tab]) => Promise[Array[tab]],
load: (userId: String) => Promise[Array[tab]]
}
For instance if you want to store your data in localstorage :
Portal.bootstrap({
userId: '123456',
store: {
save: function(userId, tabs) {
var storeId = "tabsof-" + userId;
var def = $.Deferred();
localStorage.setItem(storeId, JSON.stringify(tabs || []));
def.resolve(tabs);
return def.promise();
},
load: function(userId) {
var storeId = "tabsof-" + userId;
var def = $.Deferred();
var tabs = localStorage.getItem(storeId) || '[]';
def.resolve(JSON.parse(tabs));
return def.promise();
}
}
});
